Look at these amazingly detailed moths by Clemens Söllner, made with inlays of different kinds of wood! Aaaaahhhh! I just love the way the woodgrain textures flow, and it's clear how much love and care went into depicting these beautiful creatures so intricately!

Top moth is Ochropleura plecta, middle is Actinotia polyodon, and bottom is Ceramica pisi.

Silvia Furmanovich’s minimasterpieces !

Since 2016, Furmanovich has pioneered the centuries-old technique of wood marquetry into fine jewelry, creating a series of award-winning, ever evolving collections.

Pairing the tones and textures of indigenous salvaged wood with rare and precious gems, gold and diamonds, the designer discovered the technique during a trip to Acre, Brazil’s Westernmost state, whereby she encountered skilled craftsmen who master the art of marquetry using native wood.

Today's Flickr photo with the most hits: the eglantine table at Hardwick Hall, Derbyshire.

A fabulous marquetry table with musical motifs (manuscripts and instruments), board games - backgammon, chequers - and playing cards.

And about college

I found photos of my educational mosaics. this is a mosaic made of wood veneer, called marquetry. (the images themselves do not belong to me, I only did the mosaic, if someone finds the authors of the arts, I will be veeeery grateful)

Today I met Guiseppe Rocco, a master wood inlay artisan, who’s been doing this work for around sixty years now. He then invited me into his workshop and did his best to show me the differences between woods he used and how he’s going about creating his work. Never have I ever wished to be more fluent in Italian. I had no words to tell him how much I loved what he’s doing.

If you want to learn more about him, here’s an article I found:
